    The Excal sang the tune I love to hear....

    First gold with the Excal. All the same place and day! A 14K ring with a moisannite, a 14K earring with holes, a 10 K tri-colored gold earring and a 10K white gold class ring.

    Back in the Saddle Again!!!!

    Thanks to my fine friends at Detector Depot in Knoxville TN, I received my brand spanking new Excal II today!!! It has been almost 4 months of a wait but Kristi pulled some strings for me and, like an 18 karat tone, she came thru loud and clear!!! After the demise of my old Excal, there will...

    A few more from Dean and Felix

    I am pretty much finished with my 1st pass at the beach. I will now start to recover the areas I have already hunted. This one came out Friday. The diamond is real. And these 3 came out today. The stone is Moisannite. All 14 K, including the earring, which is a recent drop.

    2 diamond rings - Possibly my best single day!

    I have not been posting here lately. I have limited myself to one site to post but I had to share this one with everyone. I went to the beach Saturday afternoon to cool off. It was hot in the house and I just wanted to get away from it. I got to the crowded beach around 2:30 and hunted one...

    Shaft positioning clips for Excalibur....Who's got 'em?

    My shaft positioning clip is wearing out or going bad. Any idea where I can buy new ones?

    Learned something today regarding 10" Excal coils

    Spoke with Sandy at Minelab this morning. What a big help she was! Yesterday I went hunting and found a nice 10K cross about 1.5" long. A little later, a woman asked me to look for a lost earring. I asked her to pass the one she still had under my coil. No tone! I couldn't believe it...

    From Russia with Love....

    Usually I do not post pictures of my silver rings. I prefer the glitter of gold, but, this one is unusual. It has a Russian hallmark and I cannot find any info about it on the internet, but it was obviously made before the fall of the Soviet Union. How it made it into the water at a beach in PR...

    Finally! Some gold!

    It's been 5 weeks since I saw any glitter in the bottom of my scoop. I was starting to think that I had lost the Midas touch. This was from 5 weeks ago: Aquamarine stone, 14 Karat. This was from today: The medallion of Saint Lazarus is 14 Kt. (7.2 grams) I found it first, then, just 5...

    Ice in July

    Went for a quick 20 minute hunt next to a dock that many people use to dive into the water. This 13.1 gram, 14 karat beauty came out just as I was ending my hunt. Tested positive for diamonds! Also found a school fare token from the United Traction Company System. They are HQ'd in Albany NY.

    Last 4 hunts

    I decided to post a group of hunts rather than each hunt individually. These are 2 10 Kts from last week... A 10 kt bracelet and 2 14 kt medallions... A 10 karat white gold with natural sapphires and a large 925 ring... A 14 kt, a unmarked but probably stainless ring, an 18 Kt with a...

    Father's Day hunt results.....

    Found this 10Kt ring in the first 5 minutes of the hunt. Found $1.09 and a toy car over the next 2 hours. This is #16 gold ring for the year. Stone is natural Sapphire.

    Look what slithered into the scoop today......

    I was elated to see this snake show up in the scoop. I sometimes get a worm or 2 in it so this cousin was a welcome visitor. 10.1 grams of probably 10 Kt. It isn't marked but that does not surprise me. I have found other similar without markings. It is definitely solid. I will test it later...

    A good day today

    I took yesterday off from beach hunting but took advantage of low tide for a 2 hour hunt this afternoon. The ring is 14Kt and I believe the diamonds are real. I am not sure what the main stone is but it has nice color. It might be Topaz or Garnet. Any guesses? The #9 charm is not marked but is...

    Low tide, no wind or waves...time to hunt!

    Got out to a beach that is pretty deep but was able to take advantage of the low tide and lack of waves to get out to where I was sure I would find something. My hunch was right. This is marked 14Kt and says "Picture Pendant" on the clasp. I suspect someone's picture was glued to it. 3...

    Quick spin nets some glitter....

    Got down to the beach between T-Storms for 2 hours today. Found an 18Kt GF chain with a short piece of 14Kt chain attached. A thin gold ring (not marked)and a small 10 Kt ID bracelet rounded out the day's finds.

    Another last minute gold find....

    Again, the last 15 minutes of my 2.5 hour hunt proved to be the best. Up to then, I had recovered $.35. 18.1 grams of 10Kt....7.5 grams of pure Au!

    6 grams of religion on 6/6/06

    I had pretty much given up on the day after 3 hours of beer cans and pull tabs. I had found a silver cross and earring and about $2.50 in change and started to head into shore when I heard the sound I long to hear. 6 grams of 14kt that apparently parted at the clasp between the chain and the...

    A nice weight,,,,

    Went to a different beach for 2 hours. Not my favorite because the bottom is thick, packed mud and a pain to dig and slow going. But, I have nothing to whine about with the yield. A heavy 14Kt gold band weighing in at 6.5 grams (about $125 in gold at today's price) and a custom bracelet with...
